Joel 3
1 For beholde, in those dayes and in that time, when I shall bring againe the captiuitie of Iudah and Ierusalem,
“Matukũ-inĩ macio, na ihinda rĩu, rĩrĩa ngaacookeria Juda na Jerusalemu ũgaacĩru wacio-rĩ,
2 I will also gather all nations, and wil bring them downe into the valley of Iehoshaphat, and will pleade with them there for my people, and for mine heritage Israel, whom they haue scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
nĩngacookanĩrĩria ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, na ndĩciikũrũkie nginya Gĩtuamba kĩa Jehoshafatu. Kũu nĩkuo ngaamatuĩra ciira ũkoniĩ igai rĩakwa, nĩo andũ akwa a Isiraeli, nĩgũkorwo nĩmahurunjire andũ akwa ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na makĩgayana bũrũri wakwa.
3 And they haue cast lottes for my people, and haue giuen the childe for the harlot, and sold the girle for wine, that they might drinke.
Nĩmacuukĩire andũ akwa mĩtĩ. Maaheanire tũmwana twao tũrĩ irĩhi kũrĩ maraya; na makĩendia airĩtu ndibei nĩguo mamĩnyue.
4 Yea, and what haue you to do with me, O Tyrus and Zidon and all the costes of Palestina? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompence mee, swiftly and speedily will I render your recompence vpon your head:
“Na rĩrĩ, nĩ kĩĩ mũranjũria, inyuĩ Turo na Sidoni o na inyuĩ ngʼongo ciothe cia Filistia? Anga nĩmũkwĩrĩhĩria ũndũ ndanamwĩka? Akorwo nĩmũkwĩrĩhĩria-rĩ, na niĩ nĩngatũma mũcookererwo nĩ kwĩrĩhĩria kũu kwanyu o narua na ihenya.
5 For ye haue taken my siluer and my golde, and haue caried into your temples my goodly and pleasant things.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩmuoire betha na thahabu ciakwa, na mũgĩkuua mĩthiithũ ya indo ciakwa iria njega mũno mũgĩcitwara hekarũ-inĩ cianyu.
6 The children also of Iudah and the children of Ierusalem haue you solde vnto the Grecians, that ye might send them farre from their border.
Nĩmwendirie andũ a Juda na a Jerusalemu kũrĩ Ayunani nĩguo mũmatware kũndũ kũraya na bũrũri wao.
7 Beholde, I will rayse them out of the place where ye haue sold them, and will render your reward vpon your owne head,
“Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngũmarahũra moime kũndũ kũrĩa guothe mwamendirie, na nĩngamũcookereria ũndũ ũcio mwĩkĩte.
8 And I will send your sonnes and your daughters into the hande of the children of Iudah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people farre off: for the Lord hath spoken it.
Niĩ nĩngendia ariũ anyu na airĩtu anyu kũrĩ andũ a Juda, nao mamenderie andũ a Sheba, rũrĩrĩ rwa kũraya mũno.” Nĩ Jehova warĩtie ũndũ ũcio.
9 Publish this among the Gentiles: prepare warre, wake vp the mightie men: let all the men of warre drawe neere and come vp.
Hunjanĩriai ũhoro ũyũ ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ: Mwĩhaarĩriei gũthiĩ mbaara-inĩ! Arahũrai njamba cia ita! Andũ othe a ita nĩmakuhĩrĩrie, matharĩkĩre.
10 Breake your plowshares into swords, and your sithes into speares: let the weake say, I am strong.
Turai mĩraũ yanyu ĩtuĩke hiũ cia njora, o nacio hiũ cianyu cia gũceeha mĩtĩ ituĩke matimũ. Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ hinya nĩoige atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ na hinya!”
11 Assemble your selues, and come all yee heathen and gather your selues together round about: there shall the Lord cast downe the mightie men.
Ũkai na ihenya, inyuĩ ndũrĩrĩ cia kũndũ guothe, mũngane, mwĩcookanĩrĩrie hamwe. Wee Jehova, tũma njamba ciaku cia ita ciikũrũke kuo.
12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come vp to the valley of Iehoshaphat: for there will I sit to iudge all the heathen round about.
“Ndũrĩrĩ nĩciarahũrwo; nĩcithiĩ Gĩtuamba kĩa Jehoshafatu, nĩgũkorwo kũu nĩkuo ngaikarĩra gĩtĩ, nduĩre ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia mĩena yothe ciira.
13 Put in your sithes, for the haruest is ripe: come, get you downe, for the winepresse is full: yea, the winepresses runne ouer, for their wickednesse is great.
Hiũria-i rũhiũ rwa kũgetha, nĩgũkorwo magetha nĩ makinyu. Ũkai, rangĩrĩriai thabibũ, nĩgũkorwo kĩhihĩro kĩa ndibei nĩkĩiyũru, na mĩtũngi ĩkaiyũra, ĩgaitĩkĩrĩra thĩ: ũguo noguo waganu wao ũnenehete!”
14 O multitude, O multitude, come into the valley of threshing: for the day of the Lord is neere in the valley of threshing.
Gũgaakorwo irĩndĩ na irĩndĩ, kũu gĩtuamba gĩa ituĩro! Nĩgũkorwo mũthenya wa Jehova wa gũkinya kũu gĩtuamba gĩa ituĩro ũrĩ hakuhĩ.
15 The sunne and moone shalbe darkened, and the starres shall withdrawe their light.
Riũa na mweri nĩikaagĩa nduma, nacio njata itigacooka kwara rĩngĩ.
16 The Lord also shall roare out of Zion, and vtter his voyce from Ierusalem, and the heauens and the earth shall shake, but the Lord wil be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
Jehova nĩakararama arĩ kũu Zayuni na arurume ta ngwa arĩ Jerusalemu; thĩ na igũrũ nĩikainaina. No rĩrĩ, Jehova nĩwe ũgaatuĩka rĩũrĩro rĩa andũ ake, na atuĩke kĩĩhitho kĩrũmu kĩa andũ a Isiraeli.
17 So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, mine holy Mountaine: then shall Ierusalem bee holy, and there shall no strangers go thorowe her any more.
“Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo mũkaamenya atĩ niĩ, Jehova Ngai wanyu, ndũũraga Zayuni, kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩakwa kĩrĩa gĩtheru. Narĩo itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩgaakorwo rĩrĩ rĩamũre; gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ andũ a kũngĩ magaacooka kũrĩtharĩkĩra.
18 And in that day shall the mountaines drop downe newe wine, and the hilles shall flowe with milke, and al the riuers of Iudah shall runne with waters, and a fountaine shall come forth of the House of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
“Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, irĩma-inĩ nĩgũgatataga ndibei ya mũhihano, na tũrĩma-inĩ nĩgũgathereraga iria, natuo tũrũũĩ tuothe twa Juda nĩtũgathereraga maaĩ. Nakuo nyũmba ya Jehova nĩgũgakunũka gĩthima, na maaĩ makĩo maikũrũkage o kũu Gĩtuamba gĩa Shitimu.
19 Egypt shalbe waste, and Edom shall be a desolate wildernesse, for the iniuries of the childre of Iudah, because they haue shed innocent blood in their land.
No bũrũri wa Misiri nĩgũkira ũgaakira ihooru, nakuo Edomu gũtuĩke werũ ũtarĩ kĩndũ, nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ ma ũhinya marĩa meekire andũ a Juda, ma gũitithia thakame ĩtarĩ na ũũru kũu bũrũri wao.
20 But Iudah shall dwell for euer, and Ierusalem from generation to generation.
Juda gũgaatũũrwo tene na tene, nakuo Jerusalemu gũtũũrwo njiarwa na njiarwa.
21 For I will clense their blood, that I haue not clensed, and the Lord will dwell in Zion.
Wĩhia wao wa ũiti wa thakame, ũcio itarĩ ndaamarekera-rĩ, nĩngamarekera.” Jehova atũũraga Zayuni!
